RT @FLNchat: #FLNchat starts in 5 minutes. Tonight's topic: How do we invite flexibility into our practice?
19:58 pm
Most visible "flexibility" I see @ post secondary sites relates to flex learning in case of "pandemic". Why do we need disaster? #flnchat
20:00:00
Welcome everyone! Some "rules" before we start: always add #flnchat in your message; add the Q number if you remember :-)
20:00:00
@lkamsin Wait for it :-) #flnchat
20:02:00
#flnchat My fingers are limber! Let's rock this party! Go, team! ... too much enthusiasm? Too much caffeine today. :)
20:03:00
#flnchat Q0: Im faculty at Truro and have 9 days left in semester = uber flexible...
20:03:00
Q0:: I'm Lorraine from the Annapolis Valley. We just wrapped up cohort 2 of Facilitating Flexible Learning #flnchat
20:03:00
darn! I keep forgetting the #FLNchat!
20:04:00
@FLNchat Q0: I'm Chris, teaching filmmaking for NSCC in Dartmouth. I'm using email and online tools to be more flexible. #FLNchat
20:05:00
@bitdepth and you do yoga too :) does that count for flexibility? #FLNchat
20:05:00
@ritastevens hey! welcome to #FLNchat!
20:05:00
@stewarka I think we need training :):) #FLNchat
20:06:00
Q1 :: Following from the last #flnchat, how do we invite flexibility into our practice?
20:06:00
#flnchat how do you know how many ppl are following current chat?
20:06:00
Q0: It was great Rita! #flnchat
20:06:00
@randommind Flexibility in body, mind and spirit works for yoga and learning! #FLNchat
20:07:00
@casey219 28 followers officially #flnchat
20:07:00
@casey219 Lurkers don't show up, but only those who reply (and use the #FLNchat hashtag) get collected into the chat.
20:07:00
Q1: hmmmm ... thinking ... why does this question seem so hard? #FLNchat
20:07:00
#FLNchat Q1: with open arms
20:07:00
@FLNChat - sorry I'm late - long day... #flnchat
20:08:00
@hondomac you made it! #FLNchat
20:09:00
@FLNchat Q1: We relax, let go of total control of the learning and listen and help people learn in a comfortable way. #FLNchat
20:09:00
Q1: maybe you invite flexibility by being ok with not knowing ??? (still trying to figure this one out) #FLNchat
20:09:00
@ritqstevens I think the lock means your tweets are restricted #flnchat
20:10:00
Q1: someone told me once you have to be ok with ambiguity ... that makes sense to me #FLNchat
20:10:00
Q1: #flnchat oh yeah Carolyn...making mistakes; learning with learners; from learners...
20:10:00
A couple of people are using direct message instead of regular tweets. Check how you are sending your messages :-) #FLNchat
20:08:00
@randommind Not knowing and being open to different ways of learning is important. #FLNchat It can be scary for learners and teachers.
20:08:00
#FLNchat Flexibility for me means constantly questioning what I do as a teacher, and how I could do it better.
20:08:00
Q1: I hear ya @casey219! Sometimes flexibliity means the tables are turned. Teachers become learners & learners become teachers #FLNchat
20:08:00
@flnchat I missed Q1 - what are we chatting about? #flnchat
20:08:00
#flnchat as long as there is no @ we are in chat right?
20:9:00
@casey219 Aren't mistakes the best way to learn? #FLNchat We have to invite imperfection into our practice.
20:9:00
@HenderJL you go girl!!! #FLNchat
20:9:00
@ritastevens Those generally accepted rules are pretty flexible! #flnchat
20:9:00
Q0 Ian MacLeod Acting DEan AA&NM at NSCC (apologies for the late intro :-))#flnchat
20:13:00
@casey219 As long as you use the hashtag #FLNchat that's part of the chat. It doesn't matter where the @ is at.
20:13:00
#FLNchat Forgot the Q1. I think lack of flexibility leads to burn out. It's harder to remain constant than to change.
20:13:00
RT @flnchat: Q1 :: Following from the last #flnchat, how do we invite flexibility into our practice?
20:13:00
@stewarka soooo true!!! we get stuck #FLNchat
20:14:00
@stewarka being INflexible takes work & energy :) #FLNchat
20:14:00
@randommind @henderjl Way to go! #flnchat
20:14:00
Q1 Flexibility has to be fostered and encouraged - right up there with an environment conducive to change and innovation #flnchat
20:14:00
@hondomac We can edit this all so it looks nice and smooth in the transcript. :) #FLNchat
20:15:00
Q1: I heard something interesting a few weeks ago ... we need to be accepting of people who are different #FLNchat
20:15:00
:-) @bitdepth - thanks :-) - full time job if you want my tweets to look smooth :-) #flnchat
20:15:00
@stewarka That's a great point! It's easier to grow than to stagnate. #FLNchat
20:15:00
Q1: Sometimes being flexible means we're different ... we're a bit on the outside #FLNchat
20:15:00
#flnchat It's also a CYA thang. The more flexible you are, the less the dog can eat people's homework. :)
20:15:00
@stewarka good one!!! #FLNchat
20:15:00
RT @bitdepth: @hondomac We can edit this all so it looks nice and smooth in the transcript. :) #FLNchatYou bet!
20:16:00
@randommind that's part of our diversity - acceptance :-) #flnchat
20:16:00
Q1: accepting of those who "don't get it" too? those unwilling to explore? those who prevent the rest of us? for how long? #flnchat
20:16:00
RT @stewarka: #flnchat It's also a CYA thang. The more flexible you are, the less the dog can eat people's homework. :)
20:16:00
Sometimes i find learners don't know what to do with the flexibility - they are used to fences in 'school' #flnchat
20:17:00
@stewarka Rigid minimal structure works well. Set up some wide boundaries and explore within it. Keeps it interesting. #FLNchat
20:17:00
Nancy Pelley - Kingstec - Q1: I think we need to have patience and understanding for all learning styles #flnchat
20:17:00
@N_Pelley hi nancy!! #FLNchat
20:17:00
@stewarka Love it! #flnchat
20:17:00
@randommind It's embracing diversity as well as protecting and encouraging it. #FLNchat
20:18:00
@stewarka - good point - always need to stay one step ahead of the dog... #flnchat
20:18:00
accepting those who resist for how long - great question!!!!! #flnchat
20:18:00
Welcome to those that are joining now. Jump right in and join the chat! Q2 coming now... #flnchat
20:19:00
@bitdepth - that's the key - building the environment where it all flourishes #flnchat
20:19:00
@N_Pelley Welcome, Nancy! Patience is so important. Taking a breath and pausing is often the best strategy. #FLNchat
20:20:00
@casey219 #flnchat Yeah, and you have to be flexible enough to deal with that - give them a few fences ... to start with.
20:20:00
#flnchat Q2: purely selfish ask-how can a library be flexible & support you in your efforts?
20:20:00
@lkamsin Change can be hard. Many times it's striking the balance between running wild and standing still. #FLNchat
20:20:00
@lkamsin is taking over! :) #FLNchat
20:21:00
Q2 Great question and love who is asking it! I think libraries need to seize the information opportunity that they now have #flnchat
20:21:00
@casey219 I agree - we need to set the environment for flexibility because many students struggle with it #flnchat
20:21:00
@stewarka @casey219 People don't need to know that the fences aren't sturdy and they are easy to jump over at first. #FLNchat
20:21:00
@lkamsin make it all digital! I want access to the library to be just as easy as tweeting #FLNchat
20:22:00
Q2 There is a huge opportunity now fro librarians to have a huge role in information management, but te window is closing #flnchat
20:22:00
@lkamsin You jumped over the fence with a great question! #FLNchat
20:22:00
@FLNchat #flnchat Q2: Provide options in assignments.
20:23:00
Alrighty! let's go with that! #flnchat Q2: purely selfish ask-how can a library be flexible & support you in your efforts?
20:23:00
@stewarka tell us more :) options? what would work for you? #FLNchat
20:23:00
@lkamsin - become the arbiters of information gathering, processing, and use #flnchat
20:23:00
@FLNchat gotta love the flexibility :) #FLNchat
20:23:00
RT @hondomac: Q2 There is a huge opportunity now fro librarians to have a huge role in information management, but te window is closing #flnchat
20:23:00
@stewarka #FLNchat Options in assignments make a huge difference and make it easier for us all.
20:24:00
@FLNchat #flnchat Q2: Provide options for participation. Record sessions for those who can't be there (Elluminate).
20:24:00
Q2 resource, learning space/ learning common #flnchat
20:24:00
@lkamsin Q2: help us be more like YOU! so we know where the good stuff is & how you find it! #FLNchat
20:24:00
@hondomac #flnchat The last online conference I went to - a librarian had the best session - on interactive media. It was great.
20:25:00
Q@ Librarians should be the go-to folks fr any and all questions around information discovery, management and use #flnchat
20:25:00
@lkamsin Q2: I love how libraries are evolving to be curators and guides to the diverse resources out there. Flexible guides! #FLNchat
20:25:00
@hondomac I like the word "discovery" #FLNchat
20:25:00
Q2 I mean :-) #flnchat
20:25:00
Q2: Love the idea of options. But sometimes it makes for way more work (for me!!) #flnchat
20:26:00
@bitdepth i heard @FLNchat call them network sherpas :) love that #FLNchat
20:26:00
@HenderJL what would that look like? #FLNchat
20:27:00
@stewarka @hondomac Librarians can provide valuable contexts where learning can happen. #FLNchat
20:27:00
Q2 Discovery is the key there is simply too much information available today - needs a go-to person - the librarian! #flnchat
20:27:00
@FLNchat we must be lazy flexible facilitators :) ... in a good way #FLNchat
20:27:00
@bitdepth - great point! #flnchat
20:27:00
@randommind #flnchat Participate in a forum or contribute to a wiki. Create a mobile app or a database project. Do one of these 3 things.
20:28:00
RT @randommind: @FLNchat we must be lazy flexible facilitators :) ... in a good way #FLNchat
20:28:00
@randommind Sorry - what would what look like? :-) #flnchat
20:28:00
@randommind #flnchat - digitize/digital - you've heard re: google books court case & copyright police? open source still thin on ground
20:28:00
RT @hondomac: Q2 Discovery is the key there is simply too much information available today - needs a go-to person - the librarian! #flnchat
20:28:00
@stewarka very cool!! got an example? bring it to the curriculum institute this spring ... that's worth showing off! #FLNchat
20:29:00
@randommind @FLNchat We must learn to abide like The Dude. Chill out and let the magic grow. #FLNchat
20:29:00
Q2: Librarians rock! #flnchat
20:29:00
@hondomac #flnchat love the idea of being an arbiter but many of us still in follow the pack mode
20:29:00
@lkamsin - Google case - technology ahead of the law - again! My guess is 10 years from now the paper text book will be a rarity #flnchat
20:30:00
@HenderJL sorry! what would a workplan with flexible options look like? I think it's a cool idea. #FLNchat
20:30:00
@lkamsin @randommind It's easier to start with your own open resources. It's stuff from the past that is more of a challenge. #FLNchat
20:30:00
@ritastevens Q2: Options = more work. Is there a way around this? #FLNChat Good point!
20:30:00
Q2 - librarian's can be the guide to reliable and accurate information in the confusing online world - #flnchat
20:30:00
@lkamsin - break away from the pack! The opportunity is slipping between your fingers... #flnchat
20:31:00
RT @N_Pelley: Q2 - librarian's can be the guide to reliable and accurate information in the confusing online world - #flnchat
20:31:00
@N_Pelley maybe that's us too, eh? we're like a safe landing point when we teach online #FLNchat
20:31:00
@randommind #flnchat Q2: I've got an example. In my Windows Programming course, I gave bonus points for my students' mobile app.
20:31:00
@ritastevens Only more work up front - once in place can actually be less work #flnchat
20:32:00
how do options = more work. I don't understand... #flnchat
20:32:00
RT @randommind: @N_Pelley maybe that's us too, eh? we're like a safe landing point when we teach online #FLNchat
20:32:00
@stewarka @randommind Do it! Take it to the curriculum institute! #flnchat
20:32:00
@stewarka can students design their own assignments if they want? #FLNchat
20:33:00
@randommind #flnchat Q2: They were in an all-weekend-long Appathon, and developed Bovine Intervention! Now, they're into the playoffs!
20:33:00
@casey219 Sometimes it takes a bit more time up front to define the options, but then it's a lot more flexible. #FLNchat
20:33:00
@stewarka that's moooooving :) sorry ... bad bovine joke ... would LOVE to see more cross-campus programming ... possible? #FLNchat
20:34:00
@randommind #flnchat I love it when they design their own assignments. But you have to be careful, 'cause their eyes r bigger than ...
20:34:00
@randommind @stewarka why not? if it demonstrates learning outcomes and we can assess that... #flnchat
20:34:00
#flnchat Q2-librns have how to expertise etc just need audience that values it - how can we make it "sexy" enough to get class time
20:34:00
The grandboys want to make an app next March Break. they were inspired by y'all last #flnchat
20:34:00
@randommind #flnchat ... their bellies!
20:34:00
@ritastevens laziness is a virtue for flexible facilitators :) being flexible means it's ok to step to the side #FLNchat
20:35:00
@randommind hope to see exactly that in the renewed IT program and others... #flnchat
20:35:00
@randommind #flnchat Part of IT Renewal, baby! The wheels are already churning.
20:35:00
@stewarka - then is our responsibility to support them to design effectively or demonstrate multiple outcomes in same assignment? #flnchat
20:35:00
@lkamsin Oh-oh... I thought we were moving away from the sexy librarian stereotype ;-) #flnchat
20:35:00
@stewarka I'd be dancing in the streets!!! #FLNchat
20:35:00
Q2. My 8 year old says an online librarian will know a lot of facts and that could really help when she is doing her homework #flnchat
20:36:00
@randommind lazy? no strong facilitation! :) #flnchat
20:36:00
@randommind @ritastevens It's creating the space where learning can grow. That's flexible and wonderful. #FLNchat
20:37:00
@lkamsin wow - makes me sad you can't get class time! Many of us should be getting you experts to facilitate when its called for #flnchat
20:37:00
@randommind Bovine jokes ... I've heard them all. C'mon. Cows are funny! #flnchat
20:37:00
#flnchat do we need to identify/codify the options or can they evolve & be used as created?
20:37:00
@casey219 @stewarka I love the idea of supporting learners in them designing their own learning. That's the ultimate goal. #FLNchat
20:37:00
@casey219 ha! :):) point taken #FLNchat
20:38:00
@FLNchat that's just age LOL #flnchat
20:38:00
@stewarka it's the mooooodle thing, eh? #FLNchat
20:38:00
@lkamsin I like the idea of evolving and building as we go. It's more flexible that way. #FLNchat
20:38:00
@randommind Q2: Let the learners take over. That's how they learn. #FLNchat
20:38:00
@FLNChat - key is to have the courage to let learners have at least an equal say in their learning - do that and magic happens #flnchat
20:38:00

20:39:00

20:45:00
@FLNchat @stewarka we don't have common lunch... #flnchat
20:45:00
Q3 would a college "network" where folks could share be a good start as a meeting place? #flnchat
20:45:00
@casey219 ditto on the time!!! & time to learn, lurk & get comfy, too #FLNchat
20:45:00
@randommind #flnchat Q3: Our virtual water cooler was fun, and so is this tweeting stuff ... something ongoing like that.
20:45:00
@randommind Having spaces (real and virtual) are essential to gather and share & collaborate. Regular (and extraordinary) meetings. #FLNchat
20:46:00
@stewarka @FLNchat #flnchat nope just basic & we often overlook the easy/obvious it's watercooler chat best since free ranging,top of mind
20:46:00
@stewarka @hondomac we need something .... have you heard of Bobbi D-C's idea of the learning village? great concept #FLNchat
20:46:00
@hondomac yes however at this stage i fear it would be the same ol's - not that i don't love yas...we need a way to recruit #flnchat
20:46:00
@ritastevens We can help you get a picture :-) We are flexible! #flnchat
20:46:00
Q3 One of the best conference workshops ever - communications teachers share best practices - every year at APACT. #flnchat
20:46:00
@hondomac I think that it needs to be smaller than a college and bigger than a classroom. #FLNchatGrowth has to be organic.
20:46:00
@FLNchat #flnchat Q3: Right now, our lunchroom is becoming so crowded that we need more space. It's wonderful! And we talk shop a lot.
20:47:00
@hondomac Q3: A college network like this? #flnchat
20:47:00
@randommind - just the big picture if it, but think the Learning Village has potential - we need something sooner than later #flnchat
20:47:00
@stewarka I think that's what makes AVC such a cool place ... feels like a family out there #FLNchat
20:47:00
@randommind @hondomac No, what's a learning village? #flnchat
20:47:00
@HenderJL Sharing best practices is so much fun. Learning happens so wonderfully when success is shared. #FLNchat
20:48:00
And I think librarians have a huge role to play @lkamsin #flnchat
20:48:00
@hondomac #flnchat it's hard to find 1 that works:schedules,workload etc. think sharepoint; virtual H20 cooler etc Oops did I say 1? LOL

@FLNChat - this is definitely a piece of it #flnchat
20:48:00
@stewarka it's a learning community -- online & off #FLNchat
20:49:00
@stewarka when Bobbi showed us the sketches, my favourite place was the cafe :) imagine what it could be ... maybe the lunchroom? #FLNchat
20:49:00
I think it has to be virtual, simply so that it is always there and available and open for business #flnchat
20:49:00
I am always amazed at what I learn from colleagues when we get together - and it is not often enough! #flnchat
20:49:00
i would like my stuff to be in one place. Nings, FB, Twitter, Yammer - i can't stay on it. who knows how to align them all? #flnchat
20:49:00
NSCC Drop In and Learn Centre? #flnchat
20:50:00
@hondomac I think so too ... hard to do physically with 13 campuses #FLNchat
20:50:00
@randommind #flnchat A single source repository would be good ... we could go there to get ideas for nscc online stuff.
20:50:00
@hondomac maybe like the Thursday night thing we used to do in SL? maybe like the mailing list we had going for a while? #FLNchat
20:50:00
@randommind Is it a physical space? #flnchat
20:50:00
@lkamsin @hondomac The key is to have things that have limits in time and space and then keep moving. Build and learn and go. #FLNchat
20:51:00
Q4: Time for final comments as we wrap up. And don't forget shameless plugs -- like @stewarka 's students! #flnchat
20:51:00
RT @hondomac: I think it has to be virtual, simply so that it is always there and available and open for business #flnchat
20:51:00
@stewarka nope ... it's just a concept now ... but we could build it ??? #FLNchat
20:51:00
@FLNchat where does the time go?? #FLNchat
20:51:00
as we think about this lets remember the focus = flexibility #flnchat
20:52:00
@FLNchat #flnchat I'm just so darn proud of my students! Gawd love their nerdy little hearts. And it's all them ... not me.
20:52:00
@randommind - I think those are both great ideas along with a common repository like @stewarkasuggests, it's a mix of a lot things #flnchat
20:52:00
@casey219 I'd like to see something built by the community it serves ... the ultimate flexibility #FLNchat
20:52:00
Q3: here's a thought... what about options for a learning village? I heard lots of hints! #flnchat
20:52:00
@randommind seriously!!! fantastic :) connect soon!! #flnchat
20:53:00
@hondomac It's not really one monolithic space, it's the network of people. We keep it together, the space is with us. #FLNchat
20:53:00
@casey219 maybe we should connect with Bobbi & get something going ... @FLNchat maybe invite Bobbi to the next #FLNchat?
20:53:00
@FLNChat - that's the key to a village - the baker, the blacksmith, the fishmonger... #flnchat
20:53:00
SL certainly has an appeal. #flnchat
20:53:00
RT @bitdepth: @hondomac It's not really one monolithic space, it's the network of people. We keep it together, the space is with us. #FLNchat
20:53:00
@randommind @casey219 @FLNchat whos bobbi? #flnchat
20:53:00
@bitdepth that is so so so right on!! #flnchat
20:53:00
@hondomac a real apprenticeship model, huh? :):) #FLNchat
20:54:00
@FLNchat #flnchat That would be great. Could we borrow from Bobbi?
20:54:00
#flnchat any way to record in SL so when others arr after meeting they still have access & can leave their contribution?
20:54:00
@casey219 Rewriting & editing & combining & recombining is an important part of the process. Important things won't be lost. #FLNchat
20:54:00
@HenderJL SL does have appeal, for some. Again I think it is about linked options #flnchat
20:54:00
@randommind - why not? It's worked for thousands of years - but apprenticeship and sharing and collaboration :-) #flnchat
20:54:00
@stewarka maybe Bobbi could come explain the concept ... or maybe go to Elluminate for this one ... it's very visual #FLNchat
20:55:00
#flnchat I volunteer to be baker LOL (half baked, overbaked & just right!)
20:55:00
RT @FLNchat: @HenderJL SL does have appeal, for some. Again I think it is about linked options #flnchat
20:55:00
Q2: I like the idea of a common repository. From someone who does not have input, I would like to see it organized. :) #FLNchat
20:55:00
@lkamsin yup... there are lots of tools to connect SL with "real" tools #flnchat
20:55:00
@lkamsin you bring the chocolate pastries, ok? I saw what you got at the market on Saturday! #FLNchat
20:55:00
@randommind @hondomac It's a human thing. We share learning and that passes the learning on. #FLNchat
20:56:00
@lkamsin - can record transcripts in SL... or at east copy them and post them a la our Google Group #flnchat
20:56:00
@ritastevens I think you just volunteered ? :):) (notice how smooth I am?) #FLNchat
20:56:00
@randommind who's bobbi #flnchat
20:56:00
Let's invite others to join us here as a start. #flnchat
20:56:00
@hondomac @randommind Q2: hmm... I think you're on to something great here. #FLNchat
20:56:00
@bitdepth @randommind - you got it - we just need t figure out how to get EVERYONE to share! #flnchat
20:56:00
@FLNchat @HenderJL #flnchat linked options definitely the way to go
20:57:00
@FLNchat ok. maybe we can all try to bring someone new on for the next chat. #Flnchat
20:57:00
@ritastevens A place to meet before going on journeys. A jumping off point for adventure. #FLNchat
20:57:00
@ritastevens What is it we're on to? I'm lost! :-) #flnchat
20:58:00
Yup... each one bring one! #flnchat in 2 weeks
20:58:00
@randommind you're smooth???? #FLNChat
20:59:00
@FLNChat - Our mission... should we choose to accept it.. bring one person with us to nest chat #flnchat
20:59:00
@ritastevens I think I am :) #FLNchat
20:59:00
Q4: wrap up and shameless plugs #flnchat
20:59:00
@hondomac Mission ACCEPTED! #FLNchat
20:59:00
@FLNchat Good ideer. See you in 2 weeks. Same bat time, same bat channel. #flnchat
20:59:00
@hondomac @randommind We can't get everyone to share. Only the cool people need to share. #FLNchat
20:59:00
I promise not to self destruct in 5 seconds! :-) #flnchat
20:59:00
@stewarka you made me guffaw :) #FLNchat
220:59:00
@FLNchat Lorraine - sounds like a great way to continue building these ideas. Thanks all - see you soon. #flnchat
@HenderJL See you Janice! #FLNchat
@bitdepth - maybe if the cool kids share others will follow? The cool kids need to be noisy about sharing #flnchat
Q4: Good night everyone. The archive will be on the blog shortly. #flnchat
thanks so much @FLNchat for hosting another fabulous #FLNchat
21:01:00
see you in two weeks everyone! #FLNchat
21:01:00
Night All! Thanks for this - too cool! #flnchat
21:01:00
and thanks to your co-hosts, @bitdepth & @HenderJL #FLNchat
21:01:00
Good night and thank you. #FLNChat
21:02:00
#flnchat any interest in being in world while at next chat?
21:02:00
@FLNchat Thanks everyone! The time flew by. #FLNchat Keep the community going, keep thinking and sharing and learning in flexible ways.
21:02:00
@FLNChat - thank you and thanks to your co-hosts, @bitdepth & @HenderJL #FLNchat
21:02:00
@lkamsin holy multi-tasking batman! :) #FLNchat
21:03:00
#flnchat toodles all - thanks for positive end to day
21:03:00
@lkamsin - works fro me, but we'd have t get everyone there :-) #flnchat
21:03:00
@lkamsin - Toodles yourself! #flnchat
21:05:00
@randommind just saying - think pace of tweets could freak some especially when system is !@$# laggy & it's a "realer" community #flnchat
21:05:00
Many thanks to @bitdepth and @HenderJL -- we are all in this together! #flnchat
09:07:00
#flnchat - so any ideas why tweet chat seems more challenging than chat in SL? is it extra tag? is it waiting for responses?
09:08:00
@lkamsin I think it is because there are so many speaking at once. #flnchat
09:09:00
@lkamsin @randommind I think that we feel comfortable in different places. The pace here seems a bit slow to me at times. #FLNchat
